Message from Principal Scott

 

We are fortunate to a have a commited faculty and staff who believe in every child's right to a superior education. All children can learn, and our job is to find the best pathway to learning.

 

Whenever I am asked about the direction our school is taking, I quote Richard Wright, the grandfather of Philadelphia educator, Dr. Ruth Wright Hayre, and say, "Tell them we are rising." The staff also works to develop the qualities of responsibilty, respect for self and others, and the idea that each person is to be a contributing member of the community.

 

Sullivan Elementary welcomes the support and participation of its parents, and the larger community. Each family in our school is expected to support the Home and School Association.

 

Learning takes place each day at Sullivan, in many different ways. Remember to come to school each day, on time, to take full advantage of everything we have to offer. Sullivan School educates the leaders of tomorrow.
